I’m not sure when, but somewhere along the line I started realizing that trees were talking to me. I believe in the magic of trees. They’re graceful, patient, resilient, and wise. No matter where I go, they never fail to humble me…
Here I am in the forests in northern Washington, where I think I first learned that cigarette butts were actually garbage. (Still working on bring *that* karma bank account back to zero!)
Trondheim’s trees were so wild they wanted to give me a hug. And they were in a cemetery.
Oh Minneapolis. The tree canopies over busy Lyndale Avenue in the fall will never fail to make me smile.
It’s all green and mossy–how fitting for a tree in Ireland! It’s as if it’s wearing a tree fleece.
This one told me a few secrets. I’m headed back to Big Sur for a second installment one of these days.
To all the trees in the world: You know I love you, but I just wanted to give you a little shout out. You make every day! (And you make tons of oxygen…gracias!)
Have you been to Mir woods yet? there is some amazing trees there and i'm sure they would love to see you
I can totally identify, i used to risk arrest to stop trees being cut down, i once put my head between tree and chainsaw once, when i was finally arrested some 12 hours later i watched them cut the tree down, ill admit i was heartbroken. in the weeks i had spent living in the tree i had come to see it as a friend, i only wish i had been able to save it and many more..
I thought I was the only tree hugger left in Northern America. I don't mean environmentalist, I mean literal tree hugger.
Nice to know I'm not alone
Welsh Tramp: That is a seriously insane story. No wonder you broke the law with me along the shores of the Mississippi
MeAgain: Oh yes! I love to hug trees! They deserve so much love. I've been known to put the moves on trees after a few margaritas
you and I so need to hand out. There are a few palm trees here that so need hugging. I imagine them with Jamaican accents and dreds.
I love it! Palm trees with Jamaican accents! You should have heard the trees in Ireland…they have the best accents
I would love to hang out…I think we would have a blast; we'd probably scare a few people too. Haha!
scaring people sounds like fun. Though my family don't sacare easy.
A tree with a Irish lilt would remind me of me Da. I'd so have to hug it.
